Me and Big Joe
by Michael Bloomfield, S. Summerville
(RE/SEARCH 1980,2000)
David Armstrong, AMERICAN JOURNAL
"I can't recommend ME AND BIG JOE highly enough. It is a beautifully realized American miniature--nearly as scary as Melville's white whale, fully as grotesque and funny as a Fellini dreamscape and as exhilarating as Bloomfield's best solo."
Book Description
Foremost blues guitarist of the '60s and '70s Mike Bloomfield writes the tale of his early days in Chicago, where he befriends great blues legend Joe Lee Williams (AKA "Big Joe"). Together they embark on a journey to the dark, smoky blues clubs of the Midwest, encountering Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny Boy Williamson, Tampa Red, Kokomo Arnold, and other blues musicians along the way. A classic American adventure story, a must read for any blues lover or musician.
